I’ve seen quite a few launchers on F-Droid, but I really fail to see what their advantages over the stock one are. I mean, what can be meaningfully different about arranging apps in a grid? But I guess the existence of so many options goes to show I just don’t get the gist of it.

So what launchers actually provide some interesting features that make it worth switching to them?

    I used Niagra for the longest. But there’s no way to pay for pro outside GPS. Like a lot of apps I’ve paid for over a decade ago I can no longer use (shakes fist at SleepAsAndroid). That said, I’m trying a new one called Minimal SL from F Droid. I was immediately drawn to it because of the Minimal Phone 2 launcher, which I hope becomes available or ported soon. I may buy one soon as a primary phone and keep my now primary phone for bigger screen tasks/media.

    So far I like the shortcut for apps. Start typing the app name and it immediately opens. A simple task list at the bottom.
